Then I'll use NLP techniques and adjust the tone, crispness, etc. of the thought until it has no energy. Once that's done (takes a few seconds) I focus on being grateful and get on with the day!

I like the part when you say that we can use self-talk to control the focus of our thoughts. This is one of the good old self-help methods, yet it is so effective and easy to use...

I truly believe when you stated "If you simply work on shifting the way you look at the experiences of your life, you will naturally start forming more positive expectations." * positive thinking = Can lead you to succeeding. Which therefore implicates making you feel more confident, motivated and comfortable with situations etc... * negative thinking = Can lead you to becoming stressed, unconfined, less motivated.

I keep on thinking every single day about my negative thoughts and how they affect me! I always say to my friends and family members that positive thinking/feelings is the "key." Negative thoughts only bring you negative life and negative energy flow! Thank you! You know how great this article is!

I always say to my friends and family members that positive thinking/feelings is the “key.” Negative thoughts only bring you negative life and negative energy flow!

If more (especially young) men and women were to better understand self-awareness and be more keen to develop self-awareness, they would find much more internal mental-emotional balance in all aspects of life. Developing self-awareness, though, requires that accept a lot of personal responsibility for one's actions and behaviors. Sadly, it is so much easier to to be indifferent and blame our behaviors and attitudes on others. At some point in life, however, when happiness is the greater goal, self-awareness becomes a vital part of the journey. All my best Jonathan, Dave Ursillo Jonathan,
